Today, I know that
If I choose to be unloving to me.
You might also be unloving to me as well.
I know that I teach
You how to treat me.
When I treat myself
In unloving ways
I will accept your unloving ways.
I am in charge of how you treat me
And how I treat myself.
I can control me
And I will not control you in this matter.
If I continue to treat myself
In unloving ways, shame on me.
If you treat me in unloving ways
And I accept this,
Then shame on me.
It is up to me
To make the loving decision
Of loving me.
When I do,
Then I hope you follow
So we can continue to be.
If not, then I must move on.
Let me be of “guidance” in this important decision in your life.
